Best Video Converter Software

Movavi Video Converter

After a great deal of testing, the best paid video converter we tried was Movavi Video Converter, which is available for both Windows and macOS. It’s one of the fastest converters we tested that perfectly maintains the quality of your source file, supports a great range of formats, and comes with preset conversion profiles to make sure your video will play on any device you choose. Best of all, it’s got a simple, user-friendly interface that takes most of the confusion out of video conversion.

HandBrake

Note for Handbrake Users with Nvidia G-Sync Monitors: During testing of the Windows version, I noticed that my G-Sync monitor was refreshing very oddly and flickering when the Handbrake window was active or moved around the screen. To correct this, open the Nvidia control panel, go to ‘Manage 3D Settings’ and set the Handbrake app to force G-Sync by default. Even if you’ve got a global setting to enable it, adding it to the specific app solves the flickering issue.

FFmpeg

If you’re not comfortable with using a command line to operate your software, then you may want to stop reading right now. FFmpeg is incredibly powerful, available for all major platforms, and best of all, it’s free – but it doesn’t come with a graphic user interface. Some developers have created GUIs that sit on top of FFmpeg to make the process a bit easier (like Handbrake, our free winner), but they’re often just as bad as the command line. The only difference is that you don’t have to remember all the commands yourself!

Wondershare UniConverter

Wondershare UniConverter is available for both Windows and Mac, and for the most part the two programs function identically with very similar interfaces, so I’ll stick to using the Windows screenshots for consistency. I’ve tested a couple of other Wondershare products, and they all seem to share a simple, uncluttered design style. Wondershare Video Converter is no exception, which is a refreshing change from some of the other video converters I reviewed.

AVS Video Converter

AVS Video Converter is a decent, lightweight program that handles basic video conversion for a range of popular formats, although it was one of the slower converters that I tested. A comprehensive list of device profiles is included, so if you’re trying to format for an uncommon device like a Blackberry or specialized media tablet you might find a profile to take the guesswork out of your conversions.

Prism

While the Prism interface is a bit dated by modern standards, the layout is simple and effective. It includes a basic range of popular device presets, although it can convert to a much larger range of formats if you know the exact specifications you need. It would probably be a better design choice to increase the native window size a bit and put some of these settings a bit more out in the open. It took me a bit of time to find out where to apply the few editing options that are available, located in the file menu for some reason.

VideoProc

In terms of the actual conversion, VideoProc was one of the fastest converters that I tested, and it supports Intel/AMD/Nvidia hardware acceleration options. If the developers ever get around to putting out a version for PC, there may be a new contender for best paid video converter.

DivX ConverterX follows the fairly standard video converter interface model, although I find the shiny look a bit distracting and dated.
